One guy where I worked told me he had found a way to do nothing during work hours and get away with it. And he did get away with it…… for a few months, then he got fired.
My work ethic has been the same for a long time, the absolute bare minimum I can get away with, and less than that whenever the opportunity arises.
Being conscientious, always turning up for work and on time, “going the extra mile”, following the rules, and generally giving a fuck does not yield any personal benefits in my experience, in fact quite the opposite.
I have learned that if you toss it off and generally don’t give a fuck your superiors will leave you alone, and just focus on the idiots who are playing the game chiding them to come in early/stay late, do the jobs no-one wants too, for which they in turn recieve no benefit.
This approach has left me happier at work, while those who actually give a fuck are unhappy and never stop moaning…
Work is like a flood. It cannot be disappeared, only moved elsewhere.
If this is your attitude and behaviour at work, kudos! All your colleagues hate you because you’re getting paid to do nothing and they’re not getting paid to do your work.
I work in IT and our job is to maintain equipment, work on infrastructure projects or help resolve users issues via phone or email. But a few times a week, I’ll run into a period of time when all equipment has been maintained, there are no ongoing projects to work on at the moment and no one has called in with any problems. So I sometimes just have this large chunk of time where I have nothing to do and kind of just gotta pretend I’m doing something when I actually don’t have anything to do.
Why is that lemon wearing only one high-heel shoe? It has no lower appendages, first of all, and also, it’s still attached to the tree, so no shoes are needed since it’s not going anywhere. And, does that lazy apple/tomato/whatever have a necktie coming out of its butt? That’s totally inappropriate in the workplace. Someone should report that to HR.
I interned at an IT place in college. They told me that a lot of the times, their work involves waiting for something to load, but if they’re waiting on it, their clients think they’re just lazy and not working. So there’s a website you can go to where you can just type random stuff and it shows up on screen with green font and a black background so their client thinks they’re doing something really important while they wait.

So, what happens when you have to turn in the document and show it to the boss?

I did this until I got a new boss and he got really pushy with me. Now I’m looking for a new job

TLDR – If you give a fuck, you’re fucked…

For me it kind of is like that to some extent.

It’s like that episode of Seinfeld when George pretended to be constantly irritated because then it seems like he’s working
Did anyone else get stuck for a little bit on that first panel because there’s no comma after “work”?
This the 1st guy who complained when the company downsized and moved to India because they do it cheaper and better
…I don’t get it. What’s the joke?

Is the joke that the author didn’t like working as well?
Well this is shit.
Funny?
Considering its Monday at 10.15am and I’m reading this in work, I couldn’t agree more.
